| I recently had the idea of somehow doing digital art without using the mouse, then I came across the drawing tablet. If I were to get one for making things, what would be a good brand/size to get, if any of you know.
Also how do the things actually work, you draw on it with the pen included or something and it shows up on the tablet screen, and maybe the photoshop/psp/thing window as well? I'm still pretty confused even after reading some things around the internets. |

Lilmario Cheep-cheep What role would that be?  Since: 11-17-05 From: Ireland :D Last post: 6335 days Last view: 6335 days |

| Get a tablet from Wacom, they're the best.
You draw on it with the digital pen, and it shows up on screen, simple as that. You don't actually know where you're drawing/clicking until you see it on screen, or have a good guess 
That's my pen 
That's my tablet (edited by Lilmario on 05-20-06 05:11 PM) |

Its inexpensive and works very well, the only problem I myself have with it is due to my 2 monitors. It slips the work area in half to accomidate for each monitor so the movements are a little more restricted but it worked fine on 1 monitor when I shut the extra off. |

| I use an Intuos. It's a Wacom branded tablet, one of their "professional" range.
I'll explain briefly the differences in the Wacom branded tablets as it might help you make a decision. The Graphire is their consumer level tablet. It's the least expensive and last I checked, available in a variety of colors. It supports 512 levels of pressure sensitivity, and most people find it sufficient. The Intuos is what I have. It features something that the Graphire doesn't -- tilt sensitivity. You can angle the stylus at a certain angle, and then use an airbrush tool, and the paint will act as if you were holding an airbush at an angle -- shooting off at a certain direction. It also features 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. I believe the next one up is the Cintiq which features the 1024 levels and tilt sensitivity -- and is an interactive display. Apparently it has better tactile feedback too. 
I've not ever had a chance to use the Cintiq, but I've used both Graphires and Intuos tablets. I prefer my Intuos  |

| The Intuos sounds good, exceptthe fact that it's $200 turns me off. But thanks for the pointers, they help! | |||

| Graphires are VERY good. My boyfriend and I both have 1, and they run about $100 each, but they're totally entirely worth it. I had to buy one just a couple of weeks ago for my guest presentation at Animazement in North Carolina.
*Graphire is made by Wacom. =X (edited by Amanda on 06-06-06 11:23 PM) |
